Redskins vs. Bengals Post Game Reaction

Shanahan is washed up. I could ask him to lend me $1M and he would likely say "no". Call a timeout, and he would quickly oblige.

RGIII needs to adjust his playing style. He is taking too many big hits. Right now he is an injury waiting to happen.

When we win after showing pistol it's all great, but when we lose after showing the triple option it's doom and gloom.

I'm sure the Redskins have plenty for more tricks up their sleeves and I have no problem with using the triple option yesterday. Games in December won't matter anyway if you can't win in September.

I think the offense we ran in the 2nd half yesterday helped spread the defense out, helped our OL (to an extent) and stretching the field was/is key to the success of this team.

My beef against it is that I kept waiting for it to set up something "conventional" which I'm not sure I totally saw. Well, correction, I think the Hankerson PI is what I was waiting for. And when it failed, they didn't go back to it.

All this trickeration is fine and dandy. But honestly, can we win and be an elite team playing offense like this? NFL QB's either make it or they don't by making plays from the pocket. Kyle has got to tone it down with all the option stuff.

It's doom and gloom because the team is unnecessarily exposing their future on a gimmick offense that has absolutely no chance for continued success. It's not building towards anything, there's nowhere to go with it. It's worse than play action because it takes too long, it's worse than rolling out because the Qb has to focus on 3 different things while also avoiding the inevitable pounding he will surely receive. Spreading the field is fine, but do it with receivers, formations, and well designed playcalls. Teach the kid something constructive.


There is nothing to setup with it but more option plays and misdirection. The defense could care less about misdirection if they can get a free shot at the Qb. Let em have 10 yards, we'll take out their Qb. It's a 1 time gimmick that only works because no one would expect such foolishness with your star player. Tebow is different, he is expendable plus he is freaking huge to take some punishment. Newton can run the read, but even he gets slammed. He is way bigger than Griffin, and that is already getting old for Carolina.

I can all but guarantee every team in the league will take notice of this, and will be laughing their a$$es off behind closed doors. The Buccaneers will be taking head shots if they try that crap next week. Now he is going to get hit even when he doesn't have the freaking ball. Can we expect the Swinging Gate with Griffin next?

They are supposed to be teaching him how to be an NFL quarterback. Yes, they can use his natural abilities, but his safety is paramount. It should be building blocks, one step leading to another. This is a gimmick and a desperation ploy because the offensive line is a joke, and Kyle has no excuses now for ineptitude. They might have drawn it up at halftime on the chalkboard because they had no answers. They clearly didn't practice it sufficiently because it looked so haphazard.

Why do you think Coughlin was so upset about the kneel down? Because he knows he has to keep his Qb healthy. It's coaching 101.

You go getem Kyle!!! Keep your knees up!! Im sure he wanted to explain the difference between the double option and the triple option.

I dunno. People calling for Haslett to be replaced (I'm one of them, never liked the guy) is one thing. People asking for him to be replaced by a secondary coach who's unit is the worst in the league (by far) is a completely other thing. Its ridiculous. Morris should NOT be promoted. He shouldn't be demoted either though. If anyone gets a pass, its him, for walking into a completely lackluster situation with our secondary. But his ineffectiveness, even though its not completely his fault, is the reason he should not take the defensive helm, even away from Haslett. I think we need a fresh young coach as our new defensive coordinator, plus, look at it this way, he might be cheaper, and it cannot get any worse than it already is.

Also, I think its time to start SCOURING the waiver wire and player releases to find someone with a smidgen of talent.

I think that's a bit of a generalizing statement. I was upset with our play calling vs. NO because I thought there were too many designed option runs.

You really believe RGIII can continue to run 10+ times per game and take those hits over a full season?

Defenses are going to want to tee off on RG3 no matter what. Comparing getting hit on running a play vs. a kneel down seems a bit ridiculous to me.
